The Truth and Our Trauma

172

If you’re like me, there was a time when everything seemed to be going just fine. Until it wasn't.I don't know what it's been for you. Maybe a divorce. Sickness. Rejection. Addiction. Abuse. Bankruptcy. Loss. Whatever it is, I know it has you asking, "Can my life ever be good again?"But what if I told you that your place of trouble is also the place where hope is found? I know it doesn't make sense but from what I've seen, it's how God does things.And that means you're not stuck – and you're not staying here.He's the One who says, "I will...transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope." (Hosea 2:15) In His hands, things are going to be more than okay. You are going to be more than fine. Welcome to the More Than Fine Podcast, where we explore how sacred reconnection with Jesus breaks the cycle of trauma & shame.

Michelle walks alongside you

I followed this show a while back but now in the midst of marital separation I’ve been bingeing on these episodes. Michelle does a great job with this podcast- she has a great voice and her thoughts are very well formed and communicated clearly. Glad to see that God has kept this podcast going, (even if it’s just for me). My favorite episode has been the one on toxic loyalty- wow that hit me. I’ve always thought of myself as the “strong” one and now I understand how this view of myself kept me from seeing reality and the harm I was doing by enabling damaging behaviors in my marriage. I don’t know what the future holds for me but I’m trying to hold it loosely and surround myself with wise women of God— Michelle is one of those people.

I am so glad to hear your voice and encouragement again ! Thank you for sharing your heart, brokenness, healing and Hope ! This is definitely a season I am in. small. scared. & settled… I can definitely resonate with striving to be good enough… Doing all the right things to “earn” favor, blessings, direction. God bless you. Grateful

Wisdom and hope!

So thankful for Michelle’s vulnerability and hope. The Lord has clearly worked suffering into strength in her and has given her so much wisdom to share. Her words are full of hope in our good God, and not full of bitterness and rage as some other authors/podcasts I have listened to are. As I walk through my own painful wilderness season, I am so thankful that she is sharing what she has learned along the way. The Lord has truly made beauty from ashes. Thank you Michelle! <3

The best podcast ever!

Although I’m upset that I’m just now finding this podcast, I’m also extremely happy and grateful because it’s awesome! Thank you for helping me get through some of these confusing and painful moments as a single Christian mom. I appreciate that you give both biblical and practical examples when speaking on these topics. Please continue to come out with even more amazing content! 🙂

Great Reboot!

I have been listening to Michelle from way back when it was just she and a friend chatting through some of the issues we face as single moms. I remember them getting me through my first set of holidays after everything crumbled. While I did find a lot of value in the interview/convo structure, I am loving this rebranding back to what drew me in originally. Love this podcast! So many relatable topics that have TRULY impacted my healing process.

Listen in repeat!

Michelle is real & relatable but she pairs that, effortlessly, with wisdom that comes from her own journey and waking with God. My favorite line was: “Yes, some things I need to work and grow as a person. But I also have to recognize that I can’t be all things to everybody.” That is something we all need to hear and it was just a small two second moment. The episodes are jam packed with goodies like that and wonderful guests. Must listen!!

Water in the desert

As a new single mom who is walking through the gauntlet of emotions, layers of loss, trauma and co-parenting I have found this podcast to be like water in my desert place! So many times it has given me a place to find direction and clarity for things that I can’t see talk about with other people. It is practical yet comforting, engaging and full of godly wisdom. Grateful for this much needed voice to encourage and lift single mothers.

Amazing Wisdom!

Michelle has such amazing, heartfelt wisdom born from her own testimony of brokenness and the joy and peace she has found in Christ. You’ll learn so much from her!!
marianne_margaret

Great podcast with one small drawback

Very encouraging & love the topics covered. The one thing I wish was different is the host constantly making “mmm” sound when her guests are talking. In a normal conversation that’s affirming, but it’s so distracting while trying to listen.

Exactly what I needed in my life!

I discovered this podcast during a time in my life that I really needed it. I can’t tell you how many times over the past two years I’ve forwarded episodes to friends and family. I highly recommend it!

So much wisdom!!

Michelle exudes Holy Spirit wisdom. This podcast is valuable to not only single mothers, but anyone that has endured an abusive relationship, whether that be parental, workplace, friendship etc. What a gift it is to have this podcast to glean insight and get to know the good and beautiful God that we undeservingly get to serve !

Listen to this podcast!!!

I have found SO much healing through this podcast. As I listen to the episodes, I have slowly discovered that God truly does love me right where I am and wants me to be healed from the lies I have been told and the abuse I have suffered even as far back as childhood. I have started to see what real love looks like. God is using you in miraculous ways, Michelle. Thank you so much.

Best podcast for single moms

This is absolutely the best resource for single moms trying to navigate grief, divorce, parenting and more. I accidentally found it and I am so glad I did. I’m so encouraged each time I listen and also challenged to continue this road successfully. I don’t know anyone who chooses to be a single mom so the validation this podcast offers coupled with the real life help as I walk through this, is invaluable. Thank you Michelle for allowing God to use your pain and putting into words what I am sure is blessing many women. 💗

The support system I always needed

I listened to 5 episodes the first day I listened to the show. It covers everything and makes me feel less alone! Truly amazing and so much reassurance in parenting and my relationship with Christ. ♥️

What a Find!

I feel so blessed and fortunate to have found Michelle’s podcast. After a thirty year marriage and a year of counseling through my divorce, I just needed a little more. This podcast has turned out to be so rewarding and valuable for my daily single living. To God be the Glory!

Beautiful, Real & Valuable

Thank You 🙏

I’m so grateful for the content in this podcast! I feel seen, heard, and understood and not blamed for the betrayal I experienced.

When I needed to hear it

I have been struggling as a new single mom. My husband left when I didn’t expect it. I have been praying, reading devotional, and searching for a podcast that could help me heal. THIS is what I needed to hear. So much that made me feel validated.

Such a God sent podcast

I found this as I started my divorce journey and am so thankful for its encouragement to let go and let God handle it all. I listened to it during kid drop off and pick up daily and it really has helped me change perspectives on everything.
Courtneyb714

So thankful!

I unexpectedly became a single mom of my toddlers last fall. One of the hardest challenges has been finding the time to process how I’m feeling amidst being home with my kids, working from home, and juggling everything involved in running a household alone. These podcasts allow me to learn, grow, and process my journey while I’m working when the little ones are napping or in bed for the night. I am so thankful to have found a way to do this while working. I enjoy choosing episodes based on what I’m struggling with or going through at the time. Thank you so much!

Feelings

I’ve been hurting and searching for answers and for an outlet to help me with my relationship struggles. Sharing my feelings has been a struggle when I’m with someone who shuts me down. I choose to back down and just dwell on my hurt and pain. Recently heard a Podcast on how this behavior affects me and how sharing my feelings is sooo important. Thank you! Thank you! Thanks for sharing this with us. Soooo helpful!

I needed this podcast so much

Michelle is so on point with the subjects she covers in this podcast. I have learned so much and been so encouraged. Every single mom needs to listen to this podcast!

A Blessing to My Hurting Heart

I am so grateful for Michelle and God’s call for her life to minister to women like myself who have gone through the darkness of abuse. Even more, I appreciate her humility to bring others into this discussion to flood me with resources on my healing journey! And if you haven’t discovered it yet, I also recommend her Facebook Group called Beloved Collective. I have gained so much encouragement and insight from other women there during this transitional time in my life.
Kraero91

So helpful

I feel like I’m listening to my friends just having a conversation. Please never stop making episodes. Every one is so helpful and so encouraging in the hardest time of my life.

Best podcast for women walking through single motherhood as Christians

Since I discovered this podcast it has been my favorite. There are so many Biblical truths and the messages and experiences are delivered in such relatable and engaging ways! I sometimes listen to the episodes I’ve already heard to let it all sink in again. So good. I impatiently crave another episode but hope these ladies are doing well in quarantine!!!
Oh Hello Mama

It’s so Holy Spirit inspired and healing!

I found this podcast a bit by accident, but oh man, it was exactly what I needed. If you’re a mama navigating or healing from a divorce, or even just processing an abusive relationship (listen to the abuse episode, it was so darn good!) this is the sweet little community for you. Hurry up and release more episodes, I’m almost done bingeing it! 😉

Yes! Yes! Yes! This podcast is so needed for our culture today. With the divorce rate where it is inside and outside of the church, we have to create spaces where we are addressing this issue. Thank you Agape Moms for bringing this topic to the table. I salute you. 🙏

Both ladies speak about such a sensitive topic in a loving way!

I’ve been listening to this podcast now for a few weeks. After listening to regular divorce podcast I was searching for something that also tied in who I was as a Christian and how to navigate divorce as a Christian. These ladies are amazing and so caring in how they speak truth and love into all the topics of divorce and becoming single.
